Suddenly, the biochip's red cross started blinking in his sight.
Angele narrowed his eyes and looked at the road in front of him carefully. He kept changing the direction of the horse.
And now, he was taking the shortest route.
Angele pulled the reins and started moving in another direction. The horse under him suddenly stopped on its own and began to snort in panic. Angele could not move forward or backward, he was just spinning in the same place.
Angele traveled in a straight line after leaving Emma City. He used the biochip to record the route and simulated the shortest route using the information in the biochip.
Angele took several steps back and dodged the attack range of the tree trunk.
'I should go around it …'
Angele pulled the reins and looked around. His eyes were wide open and there were blue light dots flashing in his eyes.
Angele's scalp was numb. He quickly moved back.
* WHOOSH *
As one of the most powerful wizards in Ramsoda Academy, Liliana's name was well-known in the Northland Alliance, which was an enemy of Ramsoda Academy. Angele's network would be much stronger if he became her formal student.
The red cross stopped on the trunk of a large black tree.
* CHI *
The Hundred-Eyed Monster charged at Angele angrily and swung the tree trunk horizontally. * WOOSH * The monster made a high-pitched noise.
There was no sound coming from the tree, only the sound of clapping and laughing. It was like a child clapping his hands and laughing in joy.
'It looks like a black cactus, but the thorns are replaced by arms.' That was Angele's first impression of the monster.
'Hundred-Eyed Monster … It's a Hundred-Eyed Monster!' Zero's information appeared in front of Angele's eyes.
* CHI * He drew his crossguard sword. Angele moved toward the tree quietly.
'Mature Black Tree. Estimated age: 132 years. Danger level: None. '
The sunlight was getting brighter and brighter as he got closer. Angele could see what the black shadow was.
Angele lowered his body and charged toward the monster while it was still swinging its branches.
In the pitch-black forest, the white morning light faintly penetrated through the gaps between the trees.
"Hiss … Giggle … Giggle …" A strange sound came from the middle of the arm.
This was a good opportunity for Angele. Once he successfully advanced, he would be recognized by this unknown organization. But before that, with his Level 2 aptitude, two bottles of Water of Asu might not be enough.
The originally silver crossguard sword instantly turned into a blue lightsaber filled with electricity. Thick electric currents continuously twined around the sword, emitting an ear-piercing hissing sound.
The buffalo-sized Hundred-Eyed Monster seemed to be a little angry when it didn't get an answer after saying a few words.
Several minutes later, Angele felt relieved.
"Haha!" It made a high-pitched noise and charged at Angele. Dozens of arms swung in the air and tried to grab Angele. The dark red eyes on his palm blinked and grabbed at him from all directions.
Angele's expression froze. He looked in the direction of the mark.
Angele closed his eyes and opened them again. A hint of blue light flashed across his black eyes.
The rest were information on hardness, humidity, material usage, suitable growing environment, and so on.
'It's approaching the main body. Relevant distance: 102 metres, 100 metres, 98 metres, 96 metres …] The A.I. Chip began to count automatically.
'Warning! Warning! High energy creature detected! High energy creature detected! Distance: 103 meters, 103 meters. '
Several broken arms fell to the ground. The fingers were twitching and the red eyes on the palms were blinking.
'I'm almost at the school. It should be safe now.' Angele thought.
'Active sensing activated. Scanning Radius: Sensory Range Limit — 32.1 meters. Dangerous creatures will be marked in red within this range, 'Zero reported. The radius was determined by Angele's senses. If he was at a high place, he would have a wide field of vision and the radius would be much larger. The range of Angele's senses was different in different environments.
"It's the same distance again. I have to check again," he muttered, his body standing upright on the horse.
"Haha … Haha …" The Hundred-Eyed Monster waved its arms again. It seemed like it was trying to say something to Angele.
'Hundred-Eyed Monster: High energy creature. Strength: 5. Agility: 3. Stamina: 21. Mentality: 5. Abilities unknown. Very little information available. Please keep a safe distance from it, 'Zero reported. A red glow appeared on the surface of the Hundred-Eyed Monster. It was the color of danger indicated by Zero.
It was a ball-shaped creature with a lot of black arms. There were about 70 to 80 arms on its body. The creature's skin was black and there was a dark red eye on the palms of each arm.
He rode on a black horse with a cross-shaped sword hanging from his waist. His body swayed along with the horse as it moved forward. The dim morning light shone in from the side. Angele could see a blue glow on his face.
He had heard of the Hundred-Eyed Monster before. It was an evil creature with a strong body. It liked to swallow living creatures whole and would be strong when it reached adulthood. However, it seemed like the Hundred-Eyed Monster in front of him was still young. An adult Hundred-Eyed Monster could weigh more than ten tons. It was even bigger than a Glowing Elephant. Angele would have to fight it to know how strong it was.
With a sizzling sound, a blue electric current crackled and spread out from the sword that was pressed down on it. The electric current quickly flowed through the sword.
* CHI *
Angele did not want to cause any trouble, so he decided to avoid it. After all, he had important resources with him. However, the horse was scared and needed some time to calm down. Angele was discovered by the Hundred-Eyed Monster.
Angele rode on the back of the horse and advanced for a while. Suddenly, he pulled the reins and stopped.
He needed to buy the materials needed to make the Nightmare Potion as a formal student. If he succeeded, he would have a higher chance of advancing to the next level.
Angele glanced to the left.
A red cross appeared in the center of his sight. He aimed the cross at everything in his sight and a lot of data was displayed by the corner of his eyes.
The cold and wet air hit his face. The smell of grass and mold was mixed in the air.
Angele realized that he had been discovered by someone else.
The Hundred-Eyed Monster charged at Angele. Its gigantic body and many arms blocked all of Angele's escape routes. It looked like a ball of black jelly.
More than ten arms grabbed the tree behind Angele. * Crack * The tree was broken by the monster. The tree was picked up by the monster along with the leaves and branches.
According to Angele's calculation, he would reach the outer city of the school after two hours of traveling. If he took this route, he would be able to get rid of the greedy people following Princess Delanya. At the same time, he would be able to return to the academy as soon as possible. Although Professor Liliana looked terrifying, and it was said that she would sometimes eat living people, she was very protective of her students.
A black thing was lying on the ground, and there seemed to be many black lines waving around its body. It was about the size of a buffalo.
Angele planned to get his share of the Water of Asu after he returned to the school and became a formal student of the master. Three portions of Water of Asu could increase his chance of advancing to the next level.
* BANG *
Angele rode the horse and slowly moved forward. He could only see darkness around him, so he had to rely on the morning light to move forward.
The mentors of the Magus World were usually very lenient towards their students with potential. If they successfully advanced to the next level, their former students would be sent to different places and form a large network. The influence of such a network was enough to shock any family. It could be said that once a powerful wizard decided to accept disciples, it was equivalent to the beginning of a powerful force.
The black object became clearer under the sunlight.
"Damn it!" Angele cursed. He jumped off the horse and tied the horse to a tree.
The tree, the grass, and the leaves were all black.
Angele blinked his eyes and turned off the red light. He held the crossguard sword tightly and raised his guard.
"Itasman … Lightning!!" he growled. He pressed on the crossguard sword with one hand.
"It's the darkest time of the day in the forest," Angele muttered. Angele muttered, "The night will be brighter with the help of the glowing mushrooms."
The forest was deadly silent. There were no birds or insects. The only thing he could hear was the noise made by the horse's hooves.
It sounded like a piece of cloth was torn apart.
The noise made by the horse's hooves and the leaves on the ground echoed in the quiet forest.
A layer of blue light flashed in Angele's sight for a second before the color returned to normal.
Angele had been traveling for a whole day since he left Emma City. He had two vials of Water of Asu with him, so he did not want to waste any time. If an accident were to occur, it would be impossible for him to bear the consequences. He would not be able to find another two vials of Water of Asu.
Angele was only about ten meters away from the creature, but he could not understand its language. He could only stand there and watch the creature.
On the left side of the forest, on the dark grass.
"Zero, turn on the blur."
Angele jumped out of the arms and landed on the grass several meters away. He landed on the grass a few meters away. His expression was calm, and the silver tip of the crossguard sword in his hand was stained with dark red blood.
Every formal student of a wizard mentor would have a reunion every once in a while, using their mentor as a link. They would form a strong alliance with each other. This kind of social network was called a school.
The trees were all black. The glowing mushrooms by the foot of the tree were extinguished by the dim sunlight.
The tree trunk was swung at Angele.
* Ta Ta Ta *
It seemed like it was getting excited when Angele approached it. The eyes on the hands of the monster were all aimed at Angele.
A series of data immediately appeared beside the wrinkled black tree bark.
